Mad Cow Disease / Mad Deer Disease
Jonathan Ball wrote in message ... A lick and a block are the same thing, you ignoramus. Not in my part of the world. A lick is a natual salt deposit. Not if it's being sold by a commercial company, you doofus. in the UK a lick will tend to be salt based, with added minerals a feed block will tend to be molasses and grain based with added minerals. yet there will inevitably be exceptions to this rule and some companies will call their products "buckets" or "Rockies" or other terms of their own. This isn't a problem as like the Texan company mentioned earlier, they will include a list of most of the ingredients. But do not try to use names used in one country in another, as they will not necessarily be the same. Gordon is from the USA where they may speak English but only after a fashion, and call things differently. This is why people like Lotus who don't know anything meaningful about agriculture in the real world can make themselves look complete idiots when they quote US websites in a UK context or vice-versa. -- Jim Webster "The pasture of stupidity is unwholesome to mankind" 'Abd-ar-Rahman b.
